Beautiful and Magical Poon Hill Trek with Kind Guides

Our 3 day Poon Hill trek was an incredible experience from start to finish with Hillary Step Trekking. Even with a few days of rain, the scenery was absolutely stunning – misty forests, endless terraces of mountain farms, and glimpses of snow covered peaks that took our breath away. Watching the clouds dance over the Annapurna range and thru the valleys felt like pure magic. Our guide was outstanding, knowledgeable, attentive, and full of stories about the Gurung villages, the mountains and local traditions. He kept us safe and motivated, even during the steep climbs. Our porter was equally remarkable.- strong kind and always ready with a smile. Together they made the journey smooth, comfortable and full of joy. The cozy tea house’s along the way were a highlight.- warm fires,homecooked Dahl bhat, and friendly hosts who treated us like family. Sitting by the stove with a cup of ginger tea after a long hike felt like heaven. This track, perfectly balances, adventure, culture, and comfort. I left Nepal deeply touched by the beauty of its people and landscapes. I would highly recommend trekking with Hilary Step Trekking. Many thanks to Hari and Gyanendra and Dharma.

My wife and I spent almost a month with Hari last year doing the Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek. We had the most incredible trip and in Hari we couldn't have imagined having a better guide. Patient, attentive but not overbearing, able to adapt our itinerary to suit our level of fitness to maximise our enjoyment of the trek. He always knew the best place to stay and who had the best food. We have travelled all over the world and this has been my favorite trip to date.

"We had a fantastic trip with Hari as our guide for the Manaslu Circuit and the Tsum Valley. Hari was great - he always knew the best place to stay, best place to eat, best views and side trips to take. He was knowledgeable of the local customs, full of interesting stories, facts and figures and above all fun to be around. It was a real pleasure to have him as our guide - he made our holiday truly memorable. We can't thank him enough."

Hari was an exceptional guide from the time I arrived at the airport to when he dropped me off. The itinerary was impeccably organized, he was flexible to meet my preferences, and knew the routes and surroundings very well. Hari is very well-liked by the other guides which is helpful in the hostels, and is also good with people. I recommend him highly enough.
